ICE IS BECOMING THE COMMUNIST NATIONAL POLICE. SOON TO TAKE YOUR GUNS. FLOCK CAMERAS DATA STORED IN A NATIONAL DATABASE, ICE FEDERALIZED POLICE FORCE, NEW GUN REGULATIONS. LOOKS LIKE COMMUNISM. I'VE READ THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO AND MARX AND LENIN'S WRITINGS. THE CORPORATE ELITE ARE FOLLOWING IT TO TAKE FULL WORLDWIDE CONTROL. NO LOCAL POWER. STOP SUPPORTING A DICTATORSHIP RUN BY CORPORATE ELITE.
Politicians just passed a $70 billion funding package for ICE, and it’s impossible to ignore where this trajectory leads. It feels less like public safety and more like the creation of a nationalized police force—mirroring the corporate-state control we see in places like China. When everything from our federal agencies to our local towns is structured like an "incorporated" entity, the line between government power and corporate interests completely disappears.
I was raised by a business owner who taught me that being a Republican meant fighting for less government oversight and less federal control. In business, excessive government overreach is a death sentence. That is why it is deeply disheartening to watch the modern political landscape shift toward *more* federal surveillance, *more* government control, and expanded federal police powers that overrule local authority.
We were taught that conservative values meant protecting constitutional rights and defending the American way. Instead, we are watching the framework being built for federal overreach that threatens the very liberty we were promised. When you give a federal agency more power than local communities, you aren’t protecting freedom—you are setting the stage for an authoritarian corporate state.

WE HAVE TO FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS. STOP RELEASING UNTREATED VIOLENT OFFENDERS UNTIL THEY ARE SAFE TO BE RELEASED.
It is a heartbreaking statistic that 50% of people currently in jail are only there because they cannot afford bail. We continue to arrest people for opioid use, only to administer those same opioids to them once they are incarcerated to manage withdrawal. Effectively, we are paying to perpetuate addiction behind bars.
For many, jail has unfortunately become a stable, albeit secure, housing option where food and drugs are provided. Yet, when people are released, they are thrown back onto the streets without any care plan or genuine support, simply told they 'can go here or go there.'
Why do people sit there for months or years on end without ever receiving therapy, self-help resources, or genuine addiction treatment? Instead, we keep them medicated for years. I hear so many stories about people selling the free opioids they are given inside the system. It is a vicious cycle we are actively feeding.
In District 14, this has become a true plague. We allow outside treatment centers to dictate mental health policies both inside and after prison, creating a tragic mess where the same people are shuffling through a broken mental health system. Those incarcerated for domestic violence never receive anger management, and my brothers and sisters inside tell me directly: 'We are not ready to go out. We will just do the same thing over and over because we are afraid to get poor again.'
I am loudly calling for immediate changes. No one should be released until they are genuinely safe and stabilized—not just sedated. Currently, what we call 'stabilization' is just sedation with drugs. Real stabilization from fentanyl requires actual secure, requirement-based housing. It shouldn't be jail; it needs to be rehabilitation.
I am proposing a powerful, mandatory 'rehab you can’t get out of' until you are ready, for everyone in our jails.

Upholding the Constitution: A Demand for Legal Alignment and Community Safety in District 14
​The foundation of the American identity rests entirely on the United States Constitution. It is the framework that guarantees our freedom, ensures our collective safety, and represents the very core of what it means to be an American. No policing agency—local, state, or federal—is above this supreme law.
​Currently, actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in District 14 are causing highly disruptive public scenes of chaos. These aggressive, uncoordinated operations undermine public safety and terrorize local neighborhoods.
​To protect the civil liberties of all residents and restore order to our communities, we demand a structural shift in how federal enforcement operates:
​Mandatory Collaboration: ICE must stop operating independently in our neighborhoods and begin working directly in tandem with local police agencies to ensure transparency.
​Constitutional Compliance: All law enforcement operations within District 14 must strictly adhere to constitutional law, respect due process, and protect the civil rights that keep us free.
​Community Stability: Federal agencies must prioritize the peace and safety of our districts rather than creating public theater and local distress.
​True patriotism means defending the laws that protect everyone. We call on District 14 leadership and all law enforcement agencies to honor their oath to the Constitution.
​Suggested Hashtags
​Here are the targeted hashtags you requested to help share your proposal on social media:

WHILE POLITICIANS PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO A POLITICAL PARTY, I PLEDGE MY ALLEGIANCE TO AMERICA, ITS CITIZENS, AND THE CONSTITUTION. I STAND FOR ALL CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS. Has everyone forgotten the Constitution?
Is the battle between immigration enforcement and gun rights purely retaliatory? Does one political party weaponize federal agencies to violate certain constitutional rights simply because the other party attempts to restrict the Second Amendment? It feels like they just keep attacking each other's rights, dissolving the power of 'We the People' while allowing lobbyists and big money to give the government absolute power. Ironically, it is the taxpayers who ultimately fund this government-lobbyist ecosystem.
​Yakima is an incorporated city, and to many, it feels like just another branch of a massive corporate entity called America. The current political system maintains power by dividing citizens and encouraging them to cheer for the violation of their neighbors' rights.
​My grandfather died serving this country. He fought to uphold constitutional rights for everyone—including my immigrant grandmother, whom he brought back from Japan. He was a Native American and a Sunaq tribal member. When I see citizens and politicians alike yelling and fighting to strip away each other's freedoms, I have to ask: Why do you retaliate by abandoning the very Constitution that protects you from government tyranny?
​The corporate elite now seems to run the earth, creating a system of corporate totalitarianism. Billionaires and politicians act like bitter enemies on television, yet they all run in the same elite global circles behind closed doors. Why do people vow blind allegiance to a political party? I pledge allegiance to the United States and its Constitution—not to a party platform."
